With this command, you have build a new kernel with the new option
(compilation of C programs...)

Then you install, the new Oracle kernel and all of the object
associted with it. You could restard Oracle

and found the distributed option.

When you install Oracle, you choose the options and then the
installer build your oracle kernel.

If you want a new option, you have to rebuild the kernel (see the
two command above). This work
